Hi

That price was last years price, but instead of giving Ben (the mutt) an injection, she used a tablet, and our tick n flea treatment.

As far as booking, we were riding around on the scooter, and checked at the reception where the vet was. We then called in to see her and to ask if we needed an appointment, she was very easy and would of seen us straight away. We went back to the campsite, picked up the mutt and went to see her.....simples !
Hope this helps
Paul

We know it's a bl**dy rip off - but the only way to get your pet back from France is to visit a Vet and pay up.

It's finding the cheapest Vet that's the problem and that's why 'The-Cookies' are asking the question.


I know that but just thought it was worth making the point.
However any vet is going to charge at least 25Euros plus medication so surely its not really worth driving miles out of the way to save a small amount of money . Your own listing must show many vets in the area requested by the original post

My experience of French vets is, the nearer the port the more expensive. Having had to take our dog to the vet in France for things unrelated to the pet passport (sprained leg for example) I would have no hesitation now in just looking for the nearest vet in whatever village/town I was in. The thing for us is we never quite know where we are going(we dont even know which country till we start driving) so knowing about vets in advance isnt much use. The first vet we used for non-related passport stuff was in a small town in the Pyrenees. Excellent English speaker, thorough examination and meds and bandages about 15 euros' the second vet in the Ardeche, non English speaking vet but between all the staff we managed to understand each other, again buttons for treatment. Compare that to the passport service which was very expensive by comparison near the ports. The new rules makes it so much easier to go to any vet away from the port.

feeblecat - The new rules makes it so much easier to go to any vet away from the port.

You're right - virtually any Vet in France, and throughout the Continent, is now worth using with the new five day time scale.

Please post any Vet you use this year and I'll update the Vet's List as often as possible.
